Nate Diaz Suing Masvidal Fight Promoter

Fanmio were considered a spurious organization in boxing to begin with and now this from Nate Diaz.

Diaz recently won a highly entertaining professional boxing match against fellow UFC and MMA star Jorge Masvidal.

Sadly, the now boxing stars, well one of them so far, is involved in a fight outside the ring.

Today it has emerged that fight legend Nate Diaz is suing Fanmio the promoter of the event and its owner for failing to pay him an agreed verbally and contractually amount of $10 million.

The promoter, Solomon Engel, allegedly in the suit even claiming, allegedly, that his wife would divorce him and he would have to declare bankruptcy to pay the agreed amount to Diaz.

If that is the case, that is not Diaz’ issue. The fight was highly entertaining and well received from boxing fans, moreover, so this is not good to see at all.

It is understood Diaz received $10 million but only received $1 million upfront.

Diaz has yet to be paid his $9 million owed after the event took place.
